FAQ
MetalMaster Evolution Questions
Answers to common questions about the MetalMaster Evolution.
The MetalMaster Evolution delivers +/-0.002" accuracy with 1,700 IPM positioning and 38 in/sec² acceleration. Its Slagger® self-cleaning table eliminates manual slat cleaning, and the modular design allows table expansion in 5' increments up to 50' long.
Beyond straight plasma cutting, the platform supports plasma bevelling, oxyfuel cutting, drilling up to 3/8", vertical pipe cutting, and multiple marking options (plasma, air scribe, inkjet, Telesis Pinstamp).
Yes. The table extends in 5' increments up to 50' total. Additional processes (oxyfuel, drilling, bevelling, marking) can be added over time without replacing the base machine.
The Evolution handles material from 26 gauge sheet up to 3" plate, depending on plasma system configuration.
Yes. The Slagger self-cleaning unitized table is standard equipment, eliminating manual slat cleaning. An optional water table is also available.
